We had goats.

Our two retired goats went to keep a mini horse company elsewhere.  Their story and that story, here.

Mutt Chicken Eggs

Ra

Raccoons struck again!  No eggs.  


We had freerange chickens repeatedly until the raccoons, hawks, bald eagles, buzzards, minks, and who knows what else just kept eating them, on my nickel. Until we get that permanently fixed up... no eggs available.                                                             |

<--Betsy's Brood- 

Betsy, our doesn't-wanna-be-a-milk-cow, is now living elsewhere, along with her buddies.  We traded them for horses and 2 alpacas.. That story and her story, is here. 

Organically Grown Veggies

And All Things Garden?Wild foraging 


 No veggie stand,yet.  We keep saying: 

"Next year, hopefully."  We will keep you posted, here.  The wilanimals are eating at my expense

"Huh...?  Uh... sure."       And that's how the name stuck, a

, early morning, oh my God where's the coffee, it's too early... happy accident.          

Abby and her bud Panzer-

She came to me free in 2022 as a senior horse rescue and was my very first horse.  Shortly after that, I got her  a Belgian draft cross friend, Panzer. We learned a lot and did a lot of trails and training, since Abby was a nutcase (grin).   Read about their journey here and watch videos and footage of our journeys together.    Abby is retired from riding with adults now in 2025, but we have a new friend to begin new adventures with.  



We stopped being a farm 

Past things/Good Memories/Back Burner: 

Persnickity Pastured Pigs


This pic right here is what we started with, 12 years ago.  We've evolved a bit since then to a bigger pig with the "pasture" qualities.  

Most of the year we have litters of weaner pigs available on an ongoing basis. We are working toward having pastured pork as well. If you have ever tried home raised, grass fed pork, you are in for a treat! Robust flavor that is completely unlike the store bought variety.

***Please bear with me, as I transition this website (and my social media channels) to an informational/blog site with a handcrafted arts shop... vs a farm products sales site. ***

Everybody needs a break.  But I still film all the fun animals and plants. 

We have had some kind of farm since 2010, when we got married.  We moved to this new location 6 years ago with all of these animals.  We got rid of our last pig in 2024.  We are focused solely on self sufficiency endeavors and no longer raising animals or veggies/eggs for others.  We simply are struggling with fence repair and maintenance of everything with hubs working a full time job as well.  Finances did not support all of this.  So it's a hobby, really.  


Below you will see pics of what we did and all the stories to go with- cob building, horse and horse training endeavors, videos, blog entries. 

We DO have primitive crafty things available, like baskets and journals, knitting, etc. in the online store, see above. Come visit us on all of our social medias and watch our videos.  


<----I do LIVE streaming and teaching videos of wool spinning, basket weaving, DIY , guitar and piano playing and singing, helmet cam POV horse videos, and live videos with the animals or a good trail ride or walk on a sunny day.  

Ryka-

In 2025 I got a replacement riding horse.  She is an untouched 9-10 year old Colville Rezervation Mustang mare.  She has foaled once, before I bought her for $900.  I'm documenting her training process in video. She's a sweetheart and she really wants to try.   

Crafty Corner/ Primitive Skills

Here you will find teaching videos, wool spinning, basket weaving from foraged materials, Sewing, simple quilts, crochet, knitting, knitting machine... Come upstairs on camera to my "pleasure room" (my craft room) and play with all my fun stuff, here. 


<--Alpacas and "bonus sheep"-

I traded 6 piglets for a mother and daughter alpaca. Then someone abandoned two little black sheep right in front of my house and after 2 years, they just live here now. I spin their wool and take care of them.
